Do you believe in love at first site and/ or that true love never dies?

A: Studies in psychology and human behavior have found that a women can usually tell within 2-3 minutes whether or not she would be able to spend the rest of her life with a guy, so if three minutes falls within the realm of "first site", then science says there is such a thing. The same reseach reports that guys take longer. They'll start getting a sense after about 20-30 minutes of whether or not they click with another.

That correlates with another aspect about a subtle differences between rates of attraction between men and women identified by researchers, which is that women fall in love faster than men, but they will also fall *out* of love faster. A guy might seem to drag his heals making up his mind, but once he does, he'll take a lot longer getting over being dumped than it takes a typical woman to get over being dumped by a guy. Q: That true love never dies?

A: There's no scientific data on this, but there's tonnes of evidence from people's diaries and journals - and from my personal experience - that yes, there is such a thing, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with romantic/sexual falling-in-love attraction. I've met people of both sexes with whom, rather quickly, some sort of bond developed, and we just naturally started dealing with issues and doing things together. Sometimes major disagreements would happen, and sometimes those arguments and fights were so bad that we wouldn't talk for *years*, yet sometimes we'd meet again by chance or circumstance, and somehow, I don't know how or why, we'd forget about it and pick up from where we left off.

I think that's an incarnation of true love, and that it's not the same as romantic love, because sometimes it happens with people of the same gender. When it *does* happen in combination with romantic true love-at-first-site, then that's when you've found the legendary (but not mythical) "Soul Mate.

Great story, and I am happy for you. I do believe at love at first site. I've experienced it, and if you haven't then you cannot explain it someone else.It's a gut thing.

It like a key to a lock, it just fits. And of course love never dies, it lives with us, anytime we think of it, whether the object of our affection is there or not. Good luck!

I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe that you can find lust at first sight, as in you can fall in love with a person very easily at first sight because of attractiveness or personality, but to honestly truly love someone takes awhile. And true love never goes away.

If you truly love someone unconditionally, that love for them will never deminish no matter what happens to you, or them.

I believe in Love at First Sight, but not True Love Never Dies. Love at First Sight - My personal experience, it happened about 10 years ago when I was about to go for a rock concert, and my friend's sister (a college graduate) asked to tag along, so I gave her a ride. The concert was awesome, the atmosphere was so high that drive both of us crazy, and felt something special to each other.

After the concert, we exchanged phone number. Two days later I was on a business trip to Hong Kong and she called me, and expressed me her feeling about me. We can't wait to see each other and started to date.

Although the relationship only last for 18 months, but it will be one of my best memory. True Love Never Dies - The reality is hard as hell, so I don't dare to promise anything "forever". Time will change anything.

Don't get me wrong, I think love could a very long time, and it will slowly evolve in stages. E.g. From puppy love > innocent love > passionate love > family love.

Anyway, I wish you all the best in your love. If you think he is the right guy, go for it! Good luck!

There is a difference between "LOVE" and "COMPATIBILITY". Yes I do Believe in love at first sight, or rather, at first meet. I believe that the chemistry is there immediately.

That doesn't mean that you are compatible to live with each other forever because of that chemistry, but I do believe without a doubt that if you experience that immediate chemistry with someone, it is definitely worth getting to know them to see if the rest follows along. As for the saying true love never dies. I do believe that can go both ways.

I don't think there is a yes or no answer for that as it depends on the way you go your separate ways. I have an ex husband that hurt me so much during the separation process that he basically killed the love we had. We have now become friends, mostly because of the children, and we are civil to each other and have actually grown to care about each other as friends.

However, any "LOVE" that was there is gone. One the other hand, there was another man in my life that we were pulled apart for other reasons and there was never any anger or fighting. To this day I would probably feel a tug at my heart if I saw him.

Not to say that I would leave my husband and rush into his arms, but that momentary tug would be there.

I always believe on love at first site and true love never dies. Love is always there just waiting for the right time in the right place.

All things that live, do eventually die. It is a fact of "life. " I don't think love is excluded from the rule, whether it is puppy love, heat in the middle of the night, or so-called "true love."

But on the other hand, love at first sight can and does happen. There is no logical explanation for it, but it does happen. If I were a personal friend of yours giving you advice, I would say, go for it, but know that it is only as durable and long-lasting as you make it, by your own efforts, over time.

There is no substitute for devotion and hard work in making something come out as you expected it should. At first sight? Yeah.

Forever? Not unless you are willing to keep working at it "forever," despite the problems, interruptions and difficulties.

Any time i've experienced love, it's been love at first sight... but I think that love at first sight tends to be explosive and exciting... I think sometimes love built slowly and patiently over time can work out better in the end. Seeing as how you have known this man for a long time I'm sure you both wiser for having lived apart from each other for 15 years.

Yes I do believe . I fell in love like that 5 years back , shez married and happy ( not with me though ) . I still cant get my mind rid of her .

I still love her & I guess I keep loving her till my last breath not just coz I love her more , coz I cant love anyone more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
